The QUANTUM Power can be disassembled into two units – the refrigeration unit and the electronic unit – or into five individual modules: switch cabinet, condenser, evaporator, ECO and compressor frame. The division into refrigeration unit and electronic unit has the advantages that the refrigeration circuit is not opened, and that the work involved during reassembly on site is minimised.

The modular design also means the following:

Ideal serviceability

Due to its flexible modular design and additional gangway between the electronic and refrigeration units, the QUANTUM Power is highly accessible. This means that our service experts can access any point in the machine quickly and easily. This kind of effective maintenance saves time and therefore money.

Flexible

Is your space unusual? A modular design solves the problem, as it is easy to install and can be adapted to a wide range of scenarios.

Easy transport

The modular design makes the logistics involved significantly easier. This cost point is often underestimated. The money you save on transport could have a significant effect on the amortisation period of the chiller.

The compact size of the QUANTUM Power is closely linked to its modular design – and it can be transported in a cube container 40 inches in height.

Low space requirement

Space is often limited, and is needed for many different purposes – this is especially true in the manufacturing trade, such as the automotive industry and the pharmaceutical industry. The compact and modular design of the QUANTUM Power allows for this fact and therefore saves space.

Clear machine design

At first, machine design appears to be a secondary or negligible consideration. However, in practice it often emerges that a clear and discreet design that fits into its environment is beneficial. Unobtrusive and visually non-distracting, the QUANTUM Power integrates itself into its surroundings.

Due to its modular chiller design, the QUANTUM Power offers high levels of supply reliability, which can compensate for additional redundant chillers. This supply reliability is achieved by means of the following measures:

• Multiple compressor design connected in parallel: Up to twelve compressors arranged in parallel increase the supply reliability of the chiller. The compressors can be replaced individually (equipped with shut-off fittings on the pressure and intake sides). A compressor can be replaced while the other compressors are in operation.
• Double electrical feeds: The compressors are also supplied with power via two feeds; this means that half of the compressors installed in the QUANTUM Power are assigned to one electrical feed. If one feed were to fail, 50 per cent of the refrigeration capacity of the entire unit would remain available. 
  The supply of control voltage is secured by both feeds.
• Use of redundant actuator & sensor systems: Expansion valves between the individual pressure stages are provided in duplicate; if one expansion valve fails, most of the performance can be covered by the second valve. Critical components of the sensor system also have a redundant design.

The performance range of a chiller determines its area of application and efficiency. With up to 8,500 kilowatts and up to twelve turbo compressors, the QUANTUM Power has a very high performance level. This means that the performance must be perfectly scalable – and it is, as the performance range can be adjusted precisely.

• Maximum energy efficiency: When it comes to the megawatt range, the QUANTUM Power demonstrates its full power: it achieves high levels of energy efficiency at these high ratings.
• Compressor design: Thanks to its innovative compressor design, the QUANTUM Power achieves high full load and part load EER. At the same time, the turbo machine suffers only minimal internal losses while the ESEER remains at the same constant high value.
• Comparatively low operating costs: If you operate the QUANTUM Power in a district cooling network, you will benefit in several ways. You save money thanks to the low energy costs in the megawatt range. This has a positive side effect: you can pass your savings on to your end users.
